A new year, a new semester, and it only felt right to start this season with a familiar voice.
In this episode, I’m joined by our old and well-known friend Abdullah Najjar for a conversation that feels like coming home. We talk about approaching strangers, starting conversations, awkward silences, curiosity, fear, and the courage it takes to say the first hello, whether in a coffee shop, a classroom, or life in general.
This episode is less about having the perfect words and more about showing up as you are. It’s about listening, making mistakes, laughing them off, and realizing that some conversations are meant to last, and some are simply meant to happen.
If this new year has you craving connection, this episode is for you.
Welcome back to The Identity Library.
Let’s start the season by starting the conversation.
Julia and Kieran kick off this episode of That’s What They Said with a vibrant rebrand and a relatable look at the chaos of morning routines and the first day of classes. The duo shares a series of humorous personal updates, covering everything from Julia’s conversations with her wooden lobster to their experiences with scam texts, color-coded calculus notes, and the trials of returning to dating apps.
Hi everyone, The Identity Library is back, and I’m so excited for the semester ahead!
This episode is a personal New Year check-in. I share a few honest updates about the podcast, reflect on the past year, and talk about why I’ve started approaching New Year’s resolutions differently. Instead of pressure or perfection, I focus on choosing a theme for the year, something that offers direction without rigidity.
We talk about reflection without judgment, realistic intentions, long-term versus short-term thinking, and how growth doesn’t have to be dramatic to be meaningful. This episode is part update, part reflection, and an invitation to slow down, realign, and move into 2026 with clarity and self-trust.
If you’re entering the new year feeling motivated, uncertain, or somewhere in between, this episode is for you.
Thank you for listening and for being part of this journey.
